What Consequences Do You Face For DUI?

The possible penalties resulting from a drunk driving charge — driving with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher — in New York are as follows:

Ninety-day license suspension/revocation

Mandatory alcohol education, assessment and treatment

Jail time

Community service

Suspended sentence/probation

Vehicle confiscation (second offense)

Ignition interlock device

Repeat DUI offenses and charges where the driver's BAC was above .18 typically result in enhanced penalties. Additionally, if a driver was operating a commercial vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, or a driver was involved in a DUI accident in which someone else was injured or killed, the consequences can be much more severe.
